Lovely apartment, very clean, handy for beach and town. Love the balcony and it was nice to be welcomed with a bottle of white wine, thank you very much. We really enjoyed our stay. I would just like to suggest one thing, a shelf in the bathroom for toiletries would have been very useful.

Perfect way to enjoy a short stay in Swanage
We were already scheduled to stay in a bungalow locally but wanted to enjoy the Blues festival and couldn’t extend our stay. This was a fortunate turn of events as otherwise we might not have sampled the delights of this wonderful apartment.
We felt comfy front the first moment we arrived and our only regret was that we had to come home today! We will most definitely look to stay here when we fancy a cheeky weekend away together as it was perfect for that. Nicola deserves great credit for creating a practical but homely place to stay with wonderful views of the beach and town xxx

We enjoyed a great week at Alrose Villa, perfect location, just a few minutes walk to the beach and about 10 minutes into town.
The apartment was clean and comfortable with everything you could need. We particularly liked the wrap around balcony and the view of the sea.

Lovely, clean, comfortable, well equipped flat, sunny wrap around veranda, quieter end of Swanage
Attractive building, quiet and comfortable, great to have off street parking, short walking distance to sea front. Comfortable bed (mattress, foam pad, mattress topper) aided a good nights rest.
We were unable to remove a DVD from the TV, and as we couldn't find instruction book, reluctantly had to leave.
Bathroom basin, flip waste, ceased to work on last day, unable to release therefore had to leave rather than risk damage. Both embarrassing, however as not our property we were reluctant to use force

Lovely Holiday Flat
We only booked for 3 nights, but we had a great time. It's in a great location, with surprisingly lovely views. The location is superb. We liked the wrap-around balcony which is perfect for drinks and snacks. The flat is nicely presented and clean, and has enough facilities for you to stay in for home-cooked meals or to watch TV. The host is pleasant.

Lovely apartment
We had a lovely few days at the apartment. It was comfortable and spotlessly clean. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good enough to allow us to get out on to the extensive balcony with views of swanage and the sea. All in all, a fine few days.

Fantastic location with balcony and sea view
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The balcony and sea view were fantastic. The apartment was very clean. A little dated in places. I missed not having a freezer compartment in the fridge and I would have liked a dressing table in the bedroom! Other than that I was very happy and comfortable.

Swanage short stay
Our second stay here. Perfectly situated for easy access to beach, promenade and town. Great to have a free off road parking space. The apartment is perfect for a short stay for a couple.
There was everything in the property we needed , close to sea and town loved it
Only slight issue was the bed wasnt as comfy as we wud hav liked but was ok

Swanage Folk Festival
Arrived early at the property and actually met Nicky who was friendly helpful and informative!
The apartment was light and airy and had all the amenities required for a short stay. It is a very short to the beach and cafe.
The only downside was it’s location for me as the rest of my side we’re staying some way away.
I would stay again!
Thanks Alan
